That's a sign of the fall of an economy.. not a sign of a shift in corporate policy. Also.. Assembled in X means 15%-20% of the thing was assembled in X, basically they put the screws in. I am sure the screws alone amount to 15% given that you could literally just have the ready components and mount them... that'd easily be above 20% of the assembly, when in reality it is still all made in china, even the screws. ;p
